Route Planning
Search algorithms are widely used in route planning applications such as GPS navigation systems, where the goal is to find the shortest path between two locations in a road network.
Scheduling and Planning
Search algorithms are used in scheduling and planning problems, such as job scheduling, task allocation, and resource management, to find optimal or near-optimal solutions given various constraints and objectives.
Game Playing
Search algorithms play a fundamental role in game playing applications, such as chess, checkers, and Go, where the goal is to find the best sequence of moves to defeat an opponent or achieve a specific game outcome.
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs)
Search algorithms are applied to constraint satisfaction problems, where the goal is to find a solution that satisfies a set of constraints imposed on the variables involved in the problem.
